    My suggestion: Change your transfer case oil ASAP. Like, consider not even driving it if thats possible, otherwise keep driving and plan on throwing in a used t.case soon

    I just changed the oil today because of the noise and this was afterwards. I changed it also probaly 15k miles ago. You think the transfer case is shot?

      @Nick_F 

      I saw your for sale thread for the steering wheel. Did you trade your 335i in this weekend?

        Sadly yea, trasfer case and front diff were bad on top of the slipping clutch. Ended up with a f10 and will be looking for a project e46 in the future

          Ah bummer. I probably would have bought it off you.

          535?

          what kind of E46 are you thinking? 330/M3?

            Well that took a quick left turn. Sorry to hear. Hope the next car is fun. The f10 is a great cruiser.

              528 but could not pass on the deal. 2016 with 22k miles for 22000

              I would love the 535 but I am ok with this knowing I will get a project soon. Looking for a 330

                    I love the thought of a newer 328i (2.0t) but the N20 does not have a great reputation.

                        I feel personally attacked.

                        But yeah, I've been considering getting out of mine as I'm sure a turbo replacement is around the corner. It's a great car though for daily needs.

                            well looked at a 535 in the chicago area and that was not the one. Found another one that is space grey that I will be looking at this coming week so hopefully thats the one and I can be back in a n55. Good thing I couldnt find a 550 in awd otherwise I was very close to pulling the trigger on one haha

                                      Is there a great debate I'm forgetting about? Just saying it might open up options, it was mentioned in the chit chat thread about possible track use too.
